Henderson was a small school after-thought when he was initially drafted by the Cowboys. When he hit the field, Henderson showed off his unique combination of prototype linebacker size and track star speed.

It all came to an end in the early 1980s when Henderson’s career was cut short by injury and drug abuse. Now 30+ years sober, Henderson is giving back to his community and using himself as a cautionary tale in public speaking events.

Henderson joins CowboysCast today to discuss his turbulent career, his war against addiction, and his trip last week to Cowboys mini-camp.
